On your second point, surely a leaders policies and how successful those policies are will be a reflection of their beliefs? their morals? their fitness to lead? the respect their party members have for the leader? Corbyn would score low on all of these essentials.
Finally, you don't think that some young voters would only vote for him to get free student education? The emphasis on some. Of course they did/would. Not everyone is as interested in politics as you are; they hear 'free ed., more money in their pockets and its "he's my man".
Delivering would be another matter.
If I lived in the UK mainland I would vote for neither Con. or Labour by the way, I'm neutral in that respect, but I'm certainly not neutral about Corbyn's awful morals, lack of integrity and his proclivity for befriending and worshipping terrorists. Horrible, disgusting, dangerous man.
Tbf we're trapped in this country, it was either have May put her Manifesto forward with no opporsition trying to stop her, or have a hung parliment, I personally think the UK picked the better choice.
